📞 Call/Text Now ⚡ What To Do FirstArizona summers mean pools, water parks, and sweaty gym bags — and iPhones near water. Even though modern iPhones are water-resistant (not waterproof), a dunking in the pool, a drop in the toilet, or a soaked pocket can cause serious damage fast.
The good news: many water-damaged iPhones can be saved — especially if you act quickly and bring them to a professional. At TechITAZ in Avondale, we diagnose and repair water-damaged iPhones every week.
The first 30 minutes matter most. Do this:
⚠️ The rice myth costs phones every year. While people wait 48 hours for rice to "do its thing," corrosion spreads across the logic board. Bring your phone to TechITAZ right away — every hour counts with water damage.
When you bring your wet iPhone to TechITAZ, here's what we do:
We check LCI indicators, corrosion on ports, and physical damage.
We open the device and inspect the logic board under magnification.
For salvageable boards, we use ultrasonic cleaning to remove corrosion and mineral deposits.
We test all functions: screen, Touch/Face ID, cameras, speakers, charging.
| Service | Price | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Water Damage Diagnosis | Free | 30–60 min |
| Ultrasonic Board Cleaning | $45–$75 | 1–2 hours |
| Water Damage + Screen Replacement | $99–$179 | Same day |
| Water Damage + Battery Replacement | $89–$139 | Same day |
| Full Water Damage Restoration | $99–$199 | Same day–24 hrs |
| Logic Board Micro-Soldering | Quote on inspection | 1–3 days |
Final pricing depends on iPhone model and extent of damage. Diagnosis is always free — no repair obligation.
| iPhone Model | Apple Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 16 / 16 Pro Max | IP68 (6m / 30 min) | Good — but not pool-proof |
| iPhone 15 series | IP68 (6m / 30 min) | Good — seals degrade over time |
| iPhone 14 series | IP68 (6m / 30 min) | Good — older units less reliable |
| iPhone 13 series | IP68 (6m / 30 min) | Good — check seal condition |
| iPhone 12 series | IP68 (6m / 30 min) | Moderate — seal may be worn |
| iPhone SE (2nd/3rd) | IP67 (1m / 30 min) | Lower protection — more vulnerable |
| iPhone 11 | IP68 (2m / 30 min) | Moderate |
Important: Water resistance ratings apply to new devices with intact seals. Drops, previous repairs, or age can compromise the seal — meaning your IP68 iPhone may no longer be water-resistant.

Walk-ins welcome. We typically see you within minutes of arriving — no hour-long wait at a carrier store.
No. Apple's warranty explicitly excludes liquid damage. AppleCare+ covers two accidental damage incidents per year (with a service fee), but standard warranty does not cover water damage. Third-party repair like TechITAZ is often your fastest and most affordable option.
Yes — absolutely. Water damage corrosion is progressive. An iPhone that works today might fail in 2–3 weeks as corrosion spreads on the logic board. A professional cleaning now prevents much larger problems later.
Diagnosis takes 30–60 minutes. Basic ultrasonic cleaning is 1–2 hours. Full restoration with component replacements is typically same-day. Micro-soldering repairs on the logic board can take 1–3 days.
If the damage is beyond repair, we'll tell you honestly and help you understand your options — including our sister service Cash for Phones AZ, which buys iPhones even in damaged condition. We don't charge for diagnosis if the repair isn't possible.
Yes — all our repairs come with a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. Water damage restoration has a 30-day warranty due to the nature of liquid damage (pre-existing corrosion can continue to affect other components).
Don't wait. Every hour counts. Bring it to TechITAZ in Avondale — we diagnose for free and fix same-day when possible.
